Match

LA Galaxy are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 50 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Squad

A falling-out at LA Galaxy

Joseph Paintsil and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Justen Glad falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

João Klauss has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at LA Galaxy will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout

Lucas Sanabria knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Lucas Sanabria trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

Lucas Sanabria linked with a move away

The name of Lucas Sanabria keeps appearing in other people's back pages. LA Galaxy say nothing, which says plenty.

Player ratings

Joseph Paintsil beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 36. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

The knee: Gio Moore out for 20 days

20 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. LA Galaxy lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match

LA Galaxy are top

49 points and nobody above them. The word is not being said around the ground yet, and it is being thought in every seat.

Match

LA Galaxy win it in stoppage time

The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 93th minute. Houston Dynamo will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Player ratings

Both of them Louis Munteanu's — 9.23

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.23, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market

Carlos Garcés asks to leave LA Galaxy

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Mateo Silvetti at 21 — 8.18

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Mateo Silvetti did not need any: 8.18, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Match

Nobody wants to play LA Galaxy right now

5 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

The dugout

Milan Iloski keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” LA Galaxy may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
